Let's say "s" represents the number of steps you still need to take to achieve your goal of at least 12,100 steps. You've already walked 5204 steps, and if we add this to s, we should get a total of <em>at least</em> 12,100 steps:
s + 5204
The words "at least" means that we need to use ≥, so:
s + 5204 ≥ 12,100
The answer is E.
If we were to solve this inequality:
s + 5204 ≥ 12,100
s ≥ 6896
In other words, you still have to take at least 6896 more steps.
So, we need to get more than or equal to 12,100 steps per day. If we already walked 5204, we need to walk another "s" amount to get more than or equal to 12,100.
<em>We need to have "s" plus the amount of steps already walk which is 5204.
</em>
s + 5204
<em>We need this part of this equation to be greater than or equal to 12,100
</em>
